Cannot Query MDB!
So I'm trying to "Get External Data" from within Excel 97. We have a password protected Access MDB on a company shared drive that we need to access. Now, I can open the MDB directly from my workstation and I can run queries stored within the database, but I get an error message when I try to access it through Excel 97 via the Create New Query option. I have tried accessing the database both through ODBC or directly (with a reference to the MDB location on the network). I specify a password during both occasions, and here's the error message I get with each method: "String data, right truncated on column number 1 (TABLE_CAT)" What's up with this??? |
